On the other hand, TV said tomorrow (July 1) is the phase 2 of the Carbon TAX.
Gas Price in BC will go up 50 per cent http://www.bclocalnews.com/bc_north/.../49505527.html | |

I'm going back on wednesday to pickup some tires, hopefully gas is still this cheap. But then again, the total difference is only around $4.00 cdn.

There was an article posted here on RS too, summer = when everyone wants to drive, demand > supply, so higher prices

There was an article posted here on RS too, summer = when everyone wants to drive, demand > supply, so higher prices | There is WAY more to it than that... I don't know all the details, but I can tell you that there is no reason to believe it will get anywhere close to $1.50/L again this summer.
Look at the chart of price of crude oil: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ot_monthly.svg
What happened in 2007 was a huge anomoly, and I can tell you that it wasn't just because of higher demand because of summer driving!
At this moment, it's still half the price of where it was last year... and unless you see it skyrocketing again in the next couple weeks, I can't see how you can expect there to be $1.50/L prices again this summer.
